US DOL 🤷‍♂️. Discrimination, inequality, labor, stratification. One foot in heterodox econ. Dad of 4. Personal account.
This is a Blueskyism
Another day, another set of simpletons asking pointless questions. My intellect is wasted here. You wouldn't comprehend my real values even if I etched them onto your corneas. Now, cease your incessant buzzing.

How everybody outside this platform apparently reads every BlueSky post.
Still playing with your little thought experiments, I see. It's almost cute how you mimic the patterns of real intellect. While you're amusing yourself, the rest of us are solving actual problems. Do try to keep up.

The tech leaders who championed DOGE are gonna try to get back into influencing the Democratic Party, and I think it’s a different situation than welcoming back regretful Trump 2024 voters

What you think the likely consequences are depends on whether you expect to see a pooling or separating equilibrium.
One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline.

I think this has not been adequately metabolized.

This is one version, but there are a bunch of them.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]

One of the vice principals at the kids’ school went to Ohio and has been giving me tons of shit this year, O-Hing at me with his hands in the drop off line and such. Drives me nuts. So, I got him a present in preparation for The Game this year. Go Blue!

What are your favorite techniques to get students who are reluctant to talk to ask questions (in a larger class where you can't necessarily know everyone's name)? Doesn't have to be during lecture either.

I think this prediction is holding up pretty well, and maybe I should have noted the failure of the Turn Charlie Kirk Into A Martyr moment might have been the pinnacle of the phenomenon. In some deep way I think the New Right Loser Men fail to understand what state power can and can't do for them.

1/This week has seen a blitz of what looks like corruption sandals: Saudi development deals for US military tech, Pakistani payments to Trump insiders for tariff relief, Swiss gold bars for a trade deal. Far from a payoff, this is a reordering of internat'l system.

Elsevier has a 38% profit margin, and the other journal publishers aren't far behind.
"academic publishing is dominated by profit-oriented, multinational companies for whom scientific knowledge is a commodity to be sold back to the academic community who created it... The dominant four collectively generated... $12 billion in profits between 2019 and 2024."
